JJLupo is Vermaelen bad. I’m not sure why Mancini isn’t playing, but if he is worse than JJLupo we are in trouble.
I liked the performance, but Juan needs to come off. I’m confident that we will win if no one gets sent off.
@Solano_56 @chiesaditotti where is the penalty??? You can see grass between their bodies at the point JJ foot touches the ball. pic.twitter.com/rHd0ryLU64— nlroma1o (parody) (@nlroma1o) August 25, 2019 It looked like a clean tackle to me too. Regardless, he needs to come off before he gets a 2nd yellow.

Quite a few positives for me in that half but all negated by the crapness of our CBs sadly. We may well struggle for top 4 if we have to rely on those 2 for most of the season. Anyway, hopefully we can go on and win this regardless.
It's not about getting another yellow. It's about his his misjudgment and mental lapses that worries me the most. That tackle was too risky and none of the players complained to the ref. No controversy here.
